    First Wash In Three Months

    As some of you know, I smashed my ankle in on 23 November. Yesterday, I finally was able to wash it, albeit with not as much attention as I would have liked, as I could not grovel on the driveway! It was f-f-f-f-f-f filthy! One dirty side. I should have taken a shot of the rump as that was...

    Squeaky Bum Time!

    Dropping youngest lad back to Uni. Only a local trip, but we were low on juice. This is the lowest we have dared to go. Got back with this remaining: Excuse the shaking .... Funnily enough, there were no changes to the audio warnings to charge, nor any urgency. Never seen the green go amber...

    Slamming On (Again)

    Mrs S has been gadding about while I've been holed up in the hospital. Heartless bugger. She even went out to one of our regular scofferies without me. Anyhow, she had another slam-on scare where His Lordship jammed on the anchors as he thought she was going to crash into some parked cars she...

    Reliable Lead For Android Auto

    I understand the USB A socket is the one to use for Android Auto, and I have tried several now that have failed to work. Can someone please provide a link for a lead that they can confirm works? I'm going loopy!

    Not Noticed This Before

    Has anyone else? I've used fast chargers before, but this hasn't come up.

    Shell Recharge

    Used this today in Cheltenham, a machine boasting "UP TO 175kW". Charged from 36 to 97%. Didn't see any prices on the machine or the screen. After we unplugged, I checked our account and there were two payments taken, the first one for £45.00 and the second for £35.48. I guess the first...

    Car Registration Numbers

    I can remember all my previous registration numbers. The oldest car I owned was a 1975 Beetle. None of them contained a Z (which prior to the current reg system could have only appeared on Ireland registered cars). None of the cars I have owned have had an X in the reg. I didn't ever own a car...

    MG Paint Colours

    I've always wondered where the inspiration came for the modern MG colour palette. My Mum said her Dad had an Austin in BRG (the old colour, solid green). I know Austin and MG were not related. This was later reinvented in the 80s by ARG who brought out their metallic take on the old colour...

    Grrrrr! [stone chips]

    Not sure how you're getting along with dinks, chips and scratches. We picked up out first stone chip on the leading edge of the bonnet (?). It's always frustrated me how manufacturers use a light undercoat. Our previous car was black with a white undercoat so every little thing showed up.

    Ohme - The Not So Intelligent Charger

    I put our 4 on charge last night and it charged fine, but when I opened the Ohme app, it was asking me to log in. I thought it had updated the app and logged out, so I logged in. It knew there was an email address attached to that charger, and asked me for the password. No worries, it logged me...

    Using Zap Map And Zap Pay For The First Time

    Had a search around and could not find the answer. If this is in the wrong place, can a mod please move it for me? Thanks. I am off to Bangor, Wales. Couple of hundred miles. Should in theory be doable, but don't want any squeaky bum time! The hotel we're stopping at does not have a charging...

    Car Theft

    Does anyone know anyone who has had their 4 stolen? Not a 4, but a resident near me had a car with keyless nicked and there was talk of "should have used a Faraday box". Do they really work and if so, which would you buy?

    Odd Thing Today

    Where the "fuel gauge" read 91% at the start of the day. The car did a short journey of 3.5 miles and it still read 91%. Then we did the first 5.5 miles of a journey on a high speed A road and Mway. It was only then (after 9 miles) that the level dropped to 90%. Normally, it drops more...

    Thoughts So Far

    OK, we have had ours since towards the end of July. Thought I'd give everyone my impressions so far. First, about immediate impressions after seeing the car for the first time. The red we chose is banging. I love the way it looks, especially the back end. I'm a bit anal about letters on...

    Confused About MY

    When we went to test drive the MG4, it was a 22 plate demonstrator. It had no grab handles, no rear wiper and no heat pump and no black roof (it was an SE, if that counts for anything). We were told the 23 MY Trophies have black roofs. When we picked ours up (reg July 23), it had grab...

    Charging Using Intelligent Octopus Via Ohme Home Pro

    I have searched for information here, but not found anything, so advice would be gratefully received. Alternatively, if there is info here, please could you direct me to it? I am struggling to understand how to charge the car with the above setup. I have been advised to to set a price cap. I...
